Can't Use Screen Recorder for Arc

I reached out to Canvas Support recently, because myself and another faculty member can't use the Canvas Screen Recorder for Arc. I have the cache cleared in Firefox every time I close it and in Chrome's Incognito Mode it still doesn't load. We both are running Windows 7 SP1 and I also reached out to another person who is also running Win 7 SP1 and it worked fine for her. Support suggested that I reach to my IT Department to see if a firewall is blocking the software as they were not able to reproduce the issue on their end. Does anyone have any other ideas what may cause this issue?

I had this same issue and mine was due to Chrome not being up to date. I thought that Chrome auto updated, but apparently it no longer does (likely due to restrictions by my place of work). Once we updated Chrome I was able to use the screen recorder just fine.

Here's the kicker, both my instances of Chrome and Firefox are the latest editons, and it still doesn't work. I noticed that it uses elements of Java and I updated that as well, still nothing. I appreciate the suggestion though.

I wanted to let you know that I have shared your question with the Arc Users Group here in the Community in hopes that your question will get some additional exposure. It looks like you've joined that group already, and that's great! Good luck. It will be interesting to hear what solution works for you. We run into this sometimes, too. In fact, I had to help a student today with recording himself in Arc. Clearing his browsing history solved the problem for him.

Eric Whitmer - I am curious at what point it doesn't work for you. What are the steps to reproduce? For example, earlier today I noted that we have software installed that prevents 'unauthorized' apps from being installed so when the app was being installed we had to approve the install by clicking through a set of approval screens.

I just click on Screen Capture, and the tool acts if it's about to start, but it never does inside both Chrome and Firefox and my cache is cleared out also. I'm due for a computer refresh soon from my IT department by the end of summer at the latest which will be a Win10 box, it's not urgent for me at the present time. Thanks for your help.
